Federal Judge strikes blow to Peter Nowak case

Just a few days after the Philadelphia region has had time to digest the unsealing of hundreds of documents from the Arbitration case against former Philadelphia Union coach Peter Nowak, a federal Judge has ruled in favor of the Arbitration panel's decision. Last year, the Arbitration panel ruled that the firing of Nowak was lawful under the terms of his contract due to serious violations that occurred in the form of the mistreatment of players' health and well-being, acting with complete disregard for league rules, and seeking alternative forms of employment while still dutifully employed as the head coach of the Philadelphia Union.
